Call off Viksit Bharat run, say profs

A day after Delhi University announced that over 5,000 students will participate in the ‘Run for Viksit Bharat’ event to be hosted by the institution, the Delhi University Teachers’ Front on Friday questioned the university administration’s decision asking if it had “turned to bat for Modi.”

The teachers’ body issued a joint statement saying ‘Viksit Bharat’ is a campaign touted by the BJP-led Centre and an election agenda for Narendra Modi and the saffron party. Members of the Delhi University Teachers’ Front (DTF) urged the university to call off the event.

DU administration, on Thursday, announced the ‘Run for Viksit Bharat’ event to held on May 8. The teachers’ body, however, alleged that the programme is being conducted in violation of the Model Code of Conduct of the Election Commission (EC) enforced in view of the Lok Sabha elections.
